Why can a beautiful resume template hurt the buyer?+
Because automated screening often reads the file before a person does, and multi-column layouts, text boxes and icons can come through jumbled or empty. The prettiest template can be the one that fails first.
Single column or two?+
Single column is the safer product and worth leading with. If you offer a two-column version, say plainly where it suits and where it does not.
Which file format should I supply?+
Whatever the buyer can actually edit, named in the title. A template requiring software they do not have is the main source of refunds here.
Should a cover letter be included?+
It is an easy way to raise the value of the listing. A matching cover letter and reference page cost little to design and are what buyers expect in a set.
Can I sell resume templates made with AI on Etsy?+
Yes, with disclosure. Etsy allows AI-assisted designs under its Creativity Standards provided you are clear about how they were made.
